out" He is selling out" and "buying
in" all the time. He has worlds OF
goods, and is receiving consignments
bought for cash all the time. The
harder the times the closer he buys and
the cheaper he sells. He can give you
today figures from 10 to 10 per cent be-
low those heretofore offered, and at this
selling price" he is continually increas-
ing his trade. Put it down for fact
that WOlfsOn knows how to buy. and

that it was neither so pleasant or easy

be re-thrown. The crowd jeered, his
comrades laughed, but he stood it all in

gave it up, declaring that it was far
worse than broncho, and it is fortunate
he did so, or he might have got injured,
or the boys incapacited by violent laugh.
